IMPORTANT changes to OSU’s HDFS Internship Program:
Background Checks: According to OSU policy, we are unable to perform background checks on OSU students,
nor are we able to offer any assurances regarding a student’s background. As such, internship sites requiring a
background check must conduct their own or require the student to obtain the background check
independently.
Restricted States: Internship sites in the state of Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
Mexico, or Tennessee are no longer approved as HDFS internships due to legal incongruences.
The student, the Site Supervisor and the Internship Instructor agree to fulfill their responsibilities as outlined
in this learning agreement:
